Chapter 8

“How… Did you replace me?”

I glanced up at Lucias as he walked next to me. He’s getting me out of this forest which screams with horror. I am still shocked by the thing that happened before and I just feel so terrible. I saw the creature as my son and then I witnessed Lucias killing him. It was the worst scenario I could ever witness in my life. I thought everything was real. I sighed and tried to remove the thoughts from my head as I waited for his answer.

He didn’t answer me immediately. He remained silent as he walked through the path while his eyes scanned everywhere sharply. He’s being careful and focused on everything around us.

I am glad that he found me and took me back but when I think about the fact that he’s not taking me to my son, it makes me feel devastated. I just want to go to Luan but I know now I won’t be able to do so. Lucias‘ sudden appearance saved me from that creature and I’m glad but… but how can I just ease my mind and heart knowing that I won’t be able to see my son?

“Lucias…” I mumbled, breaking the silence between us.

This time, he looked at me. His eyes were glowing and they had a look of a predator. My heart flinched as I met his gaze. Although he was silent, I know that he’s furious at me for running away early in the morning. He was still asleep when I ran away and I have no idea how mad he got after waking up. I bit my lower l*p, averting my eyes from his deep gaze.

“Can… you let me go? I… need to go to my son”

These words from my mouth will do nothing but anger him even more. I am aware of that very well but I can’t give up on leaving. I can’t give up on going to my son. He needs me! It has already been a day and Luan had never spent a day without me. I was always beside him. Soon after my hand was grabbed by Lucias‘ strong arm as he pulled me to him. I shut my eyes accepting whatever he’s going to do to me right now..

“I’m not f**king letting you go!” He growled, holding my hand tightly.

I looked at his eyes which are glowing with anger. What is this craze? Why is he not letting me go now? He abandoned me years ago without a hint of regret or sadness in him. He humiliated me and he just completely crushed my heart. But now he’s telling me that he’s not letting me go! What is his reason? He has no reason to do

Chapter 8

this! He’s already with someone else. I saw him with his new wife and I just don’t want to think about it anymore or talk about it.

“You are already aware of this, Lucias. Both you and I can’t be together anymore. and We both have families now. You destroyed the family I could have given you

now you

can’t force me on anything.” I pushed his hand aside and said. Look at us! Met after years and after a heartbreak but there’s no happiness. Still arguing with each other. Right now, the first priority in my life is my son and the only person I care about is him. Therefore, I won’t let anyone come between us. The look on Lucias‘ face changed when he heard me.

“You are married, aren’t you? You removed me from your life just to get married to someone else? Or were you cheating on me all the time? I really don’t understand you and I don’t think I will ever understand you. So please… I’m begging you! Just let me go! I don’t want to sleep with you. I don’t want to be with you or anything. After all the things you made me go through, please don’t say that you aren’t letting me go. You broke the relationship between us.” I’m so tired of this. I suffered in my life thinking about our past and now I’m suffering because he’s back in my life. This is not what I ever wanted.

“You started a new life without me. Please continue it now… don’t look for me. I can’t be your wife again and I won’t be.”

say

I was controlling my tears when I muttered those painful words. Lucias didn’t anything but stare at him. It hurts me when he stares at me like this. His eyes are filled with countless emotions or expressions which I cannot understand. It feels as if he has something to tell me but he’s not telling me it. He’s keeping everything in him. There’s no need to think about his thoughts now… I just want to leave him.

Lucias‘ silence had my heart chopped little by little. He didn’t even utter a word rather than turning to walk ahead. I wanted to stop following him and go to the opposite side but I couldn’t do it since I have no idea how to replace a way to leave this forest. As he walked in front of me, I followed him. Maybe, I will try running away

from him after he takes me out of the forest.

I still like him and love him but I don’t want to stay with him. I don’t want to give my life to him again knowing he’s just like a mirage that I’m running after. I am afraid of facing the same thing that happened to me years ago.

As I expected, he took me out of the forest easily. We didn’t meet any creatures or any danger. Maybe it was because of his powerful aura. No one dares to approach him since he’s way too powerful than any creature or lycan. Approaching him means nothing but death. Coming out I let out a deep sigh. I could have been dead there if he didn’t replace me at the right time. And I could have been lost in there..

Chapter 8

failing to replace the way out.

“Alpha,”

I glanced at Derek who came to Lucias with a long coat and put it on his shoulders. The most loyal and caring beta I’ve ever seen. The next thing Derek did was glance. at me. He stared at me for a moment and then looked at Lucias. Instead of saying anything or moving his eyes back to me, he lowered his head. Of course he has nothing to say since he never ever warned me about what Lucias was going to do to me after our wedding. I know that Derek knew everything but he chose to stay quiet ignoring our friendship. All are betrayers!

“I’m leaving, take her back and lock her in my room. Lock all the windows from outside” Lucias‘ words ripped off my heart from my chest.

I felt the burning anger and sadness bubbling inside of me as I stepped forwards grabbing him from his arm. How could he be so crucl? How could he do this to me when I keep mentioning my son to him? Does he have no heart? Oh… why did I forget? He doesn’t have a heart! Emotionless man!

“If you do this, I’m killing myself!” I hissed at him. He gave me an arrogant glance and chuckled, showing me how fast his behavior and mood can change.

“Kill yourself? So what will happen to your son? f**king live! Behave well if you want me to take you to see your little bastard!” My mind didn’t have time to think twice and my brain acted fast as my hand was raised unknowingly, slapping him hard across his face for calling my son a bastard. He is calling his own son a bastard!

“You are the bastard! Bastard who is keeping a woman forcefully after separating her from her child!”

Lucias caressed his cheek while I slapped him. I know that he doesn’t even care about my slap and it didn’t even hurt him physically but I hope it hurt his heart. He’s such a disgusting man. How did I fall in love with such a person? How did the moon goddess pair me with this kind of heartless beast?

“Since you are so crazy about spending time with a child, all you have to do is give birth to my child!” He gripped my face and whispered dangerously.

The next second he let go of me and pushed me towards Derek. When I was about to lose my balance, Derek helped me. I couldn’t keep the tears in my eyes anymore. A sob escaped from me as I felt humiliated again. He’s still insulting me and humiliating me in front of everyone. How rude?

“Take her. Don’t let her step outside no matter what” He said before walking away. I watched him for a moment and turned to Derek. He was already looking at me. “Why is he doing this to me?” I couldn’t help but ask.

I want to know why… I want to know the reason for keeping me with him like this. He abandoned me when I already offered my whole life to him. I was willing to remain by his side doing all the duties as a wife but he threw me away. So why now? Why does he want me now?

“Please don’t run away from him, Luna. you have no idea how hard everything was for him. Please get in”

He opened the door of the car saying that. Luna? Why is he still addressing me as his Luna? I was not his Luna! And everything was hard for Lucias? What was that everything? He didn’t go through anything and he had no reason to endure anything hard since he easily rejected me and abandoned me. I wiped off the tears and shook my head refusing to get in. I want to leave.

“Nothing was hard for him. Don’t take his side when you already know what he did to me Derek. Let me go…. I don’t want to be with him anymore. I don’t want to be with the man who fooled me and rejected me on the most beautiful day of my life!” Derek sighed but said nothing. Instead, he forced me to get into the car. Without bothering him, I got into the car and closed my eyes.

“I have nothing to say about this. I can’t say anything about anything that happened between you two but all I can say is that alpha had his reasons. He was never an unreasonable man and he will never be” Derek commented while driving the vehicle.

“But no reason can do justice to what he did to me. His reasons are nothing when it comes to the pain I went through. Maybe his reasons were all about the woman he is with now. He must have been cheating on me with that woman.” I recklessly said betraying my own heart. My heart doesn’t want to believe that Lucias cheated. on me but if he had other reasons, he could’ve talked to

me about everything rather than rejecting me the moment I woke up on his bed.

“He didn’t cheat. He didn’t have any woman other than you. Please don’t disrespect him.” Derek instantly defended his so–called Alpha.

“But now he has!”

The next words I said shut his mouth completely confirming that Lucias is officially with that woman. It broke my heart in a crazy way.
